LAMBDA LIGHT CHAIN QUANTITATIVE, SERUM
This blood test measures the amount of lambda light chains in your serum. Light chains are parts of antibodies, and abnormal levels can indicate certain conditions affecting the immune system or blood.
LAMBDA LIGHT CHAIN QUANTITATIVE, URINE RANDOM
This test measures the amount of lambda light chains in a single, random urine sample. Light chains are components of antibodies, and their presence in urine can indicate kidney issues or certain blood disorders.
LDH Isoenzymes Gel Electrophoresis Serum
This test measures the different forms (isoenzymes) of Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) in your blood. LDH is an enzyme found in many body tissues, and elevated levels can indicate tissue damage. Analyzing its isoenzymes helps pinpoint the specific organ or tissue affected.
LDL CHOLESTEROL
The LDL Cholesterol test measures the amount of "bad" cholesterol in your blood. High levels of LDL cholesterol can lead to plaque buildup in your arteries, increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke. This test is a key part of assessing your cardiovascular health.
LEAD, BLOOD
This test measures the level of lead in your blood, which is the most common way to check for lead poisoning. Lead is a toxic metal that can enter the body through various sources and accumulate over time, causing serious health problems.
LEAD, URINE
The Lead, Urine test measures the amount of lead excreted in your urine. While blood tests show recent exposure, urine tests can sometimes be used to assess total body lead burden, especially after chelation therapy or in specific occupational settings.
Legionella Pneumophila IgG Antibodies
This blood test detects IgG antibodies produced by your immune system in response to an infection with Legionella pneumophila, the bacteria that causes Legionnaires' disease. The presence of these antibodies suggests a past or recent exposure to the bacteria.
Legionella Pneumophila IgM Antibodies
This test detects IgM antibodies, which are produced early in response to a Legionella pneumophila infection. It helps identify a recent or active infection with the bacteria that causes Legionnaires' disease, a severe form of pneumonia.
Legionella pneumophila PCR
This PCR test directly detects the genetic material (DNA) of Legionella pneumophila bacteria from a swab sample. It's a highly sensitive and specific method to confirm the presence of the bacteria causing Legionnaires' disease.
LEISHMANIA (KALA AZAR) ANTIBODY IgG
This test identifies IgG antibodies produced by the immune system in response to a Leishmania infection, specifically the type causing visceral leishmaniasis (Kala-azar). IgG antibodies indicate past exposure or a chronic infection.
Leishmania Dodovani (LD) Bodies, Blood
This test involves examining a blood smear under a microscope to directly identify Leishmania donovani (LD) bodies, which are the parasitic forms found within cells. It's a direct method to confirm an active Leishmania infection.
Leishmania Dodovani (LD) Bodies, Bone Marrow
This test involves examining a bone marrow aspirate under a microscope to directly identify Leishmania donovani (LD) bodies. It is considered a highly sensitive and definitive method for diagnosing visceral leishmaniasis, especially when blood tests are inconclusive.
